Unknowingly, another two months have passed. In these two months, due to the addition of the original Gas Empire team and the experience accumulated in the past, Green Hidden City has developed faster.
Although there are still many conflicts, due to the unity of strong people such as Yuli, Ai Chun and Mi Lai, as well as the knowledge support of Diao Si, Green Hidden City is very stable, especially as life becomes more and more difficult. The better, the soldiers and civilians here support Diao Si very much.
However, although there are no internal conflicts, external conflicts have always existed. Some time ago, Diao Si received a letter from the Blazing Empire. The queen there made a series of excessive demands to Diao Si, but Diao Si only gave her I replied to a letter, but I still don’t know what the result will be.
The requirements of the Blazing Flame Empire include food, wood, raw materials, etc. The most important requirement is the request of 5,000 young men. Currently, there are only more than 10,000 young men in the entire Green Hidden City.
If the conditions of the Blazing Flame Empire were not so harsh, Diao Si would still be willing to survive. After all, Green Hidden City now needs to develop stably. Unfortunately, the purpose of the Blazing Flame Empire is to prevent it from developing.
Green Hidden City has always kept a low profile, and it was probably targeted by the Blazing Empire because they often went to surrounding towns to exchange some metals and chemical raw materials. But don't circulate it to the outside world, they do need some raw materials.
But the situation is not that simple. At dawn, a flower demon told Diao Si that Yuli's professional dwarf intelligence team in the city had received "dangerous information" from the north and was now gathering troops.
Because this intelligence machine had just been put into use, Diao Si rushed there first to find out whether it was really "dangerous intelligence".
"City Lord, there is a signal from the guards in the north. According to the analysis of the intelligence team, it is a danger signal..." After seeing Diao Si, Ai Chun there hurriedly told him.
Diao Si just nodded to her, and then climbed straight up to the intelligence team built on the high watchtower. Now some basic military equipment has been built there, including high-definition telescopes, high-pitched attack alarms, etc. The signal reception is actually through the telescope, watching the color conversion on the blackboard of the guard.
"Are you sure it's really a danger signal?" After arriving at the watchtower, Diao Si asked the dwarves while checking the records of those signals.
"Yes, we can see the flash on the big blackboard. This is a danger signal and the emergency plan must be activated immediately." One of the dwarves reported to him.
"Do you know what the danger is?" Diao Si went to the dwarves who were decrypting the signal and studied the signal record with them, but it was not detailed, and it seemed that it was suddenly interrupted later.
"You see this signal must have been sent by mistake. It turned out to be from the north, the enemy, five thousand, eight thousand... Five thousand eight thousand means between five thousand and eight thousand people, do you understand?"
Those dwarves are still quarreling, as they always do, each of them is very opinionated and cannot tolerate other people's opinions unless you can convince them.
While they were still discussing, the dwarf who was looking at the telescope over there loudly told everyone that he had found the banshee who reported the news, and she was already on her way back. After hearing this, Diao Si was convinced of the dangerous information and left immediately.
When the thousands of troops assembled by Diao Si and others left Green Hidden City, they met the banshee who came to report the news. Before she could speak, Diao Si had already thought about it just by seeing her expression.
"Lord City Lord, enemies are found in the north... They..." The banshee reported in the human language here, but she obviously didn't learn it well enough, especially when she was nervous, she spoke in a mess.
"Just tell me in your language." Diao Si requested, and then he learned about the situation over there through the banshee: the enemies took advantage of the darkness to approach their northern camp, and regardless of the surrender of the guards, they massacred madly. The flower demon was the only survivor who escaped from the Green Hidden City's guards.
Why are those enemies so cruel? Even if there is a confrontation between enemy countries, they will usually report it first. How can they kill even the surrendered enemies? After pondering this information, Diao Si already had an ominous premonition. This time the enemy was not a kind person, and perhaps they would inevitably have a fight.
"General Ai Chun, I now order you to personally escort two cannons and twenty flame shells to the weapons department, and follow us as soon as possible." After Diao Si gave the order, Ai Chun immediately left with her assistant.
The comprehensive index of the two cannons Diao Si pointed to was the level of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries on earth, but the cannonballs were different. The flame cannonballs mainly contained ingredients extracted from gunpowder and kerosene, and they had great group lethality.
Because he has played a lot of war games, Diao Si has a certain interest in military weapons. Now the dwarves in the weapons team are still studying high-explosive and fragmentation. But the main reason is that the level of craftsmanship is not good, that is, the objects made are very large and the materials are very rough.
"Wind Elf, give me the refraction of the situation in the garrison camp in the north. I want to know what's going on there now." Diao Si couldn't wait to use magic to observe first. Through refraction, he quickly saw the situation of the enemy there.
Sure enough, it was a large force of six to seven thousand people. They were forming formation in the garrison camp in the north of Green Hidden City. These guys were preparing for war. They had no intention of communicating with Diao Si first. Diao Si Also noticed the shadow of the birdman flying by.
However, Diao Si still has hope. If these soldiers are from the Lamu Empire or the Gas Empire, Diao Si can still persuade them to surrender through Yuli and Ai Chun. Even if they are not their former comrades, they will still be enemies. formation.
Jing Diao Si kept observing, and judging from the equipment of these soldiers, they really didn't look like they came from the country of Yuli and Ai Chun, and their armor seemed to be a bit unique. But when I told Yuri and Milai like this, they couldn't figure out which country's team it was.
Getting closer and closer, Diao Si had noticed the birdmen flying over in the sky, so the ultra-long-range shooters began to prepare those long-range crossbows. This long-range crossbow is different from ordinary crossbows. Strictly speaking, it is a miniature war machine. It cannot be pulled by human hands, and the arrows are also extremely large and heavy.
"No, don't take action yet, let me meet with their leader first." After Diao Si gave this order, the shooters stopped.
Finally they met. They could all see the enemies distributed in an arc in front of them. They were in a state of combat readiness and could rush over at any time. Yuli immediately arranged her team and lined up in a "one" line in front of them some distance away.
Because there were many important jobs in the city, the army Diao Si brought this time was only about 3,000 people. Of course, he did not want to fight against the odds. You can underestimate his three thousand soldiers, but you must not underestimate the war machines he brought with him, especially the two cannons coming behind him.
"It's the Chidong Empire!" Mi Lai said in shock. It can be seen that the Chidong Empire's army has become a lingering shadow in her heart.
"Chidong Empire? They actually came here? How is this possible? They crossed the desert to capture Green Hidden City?" Yuli's question was also the question in Diao Si's heart, but he quickly denied it. At this point, Chidong Empire should also be in exile here.
But it is not easy to guess how the Chidong Empire, which dominates the world with the help of marine life, crossed the desert and fled to the remote Green Hidden City.
In front of the Chidong Empire's team is a dark crystal warrior sitting with a special sea beast. She should be the leader of this team. The other senior warriors have been distributed around the team, and they are all ready for battle.
"You guys stay here first. I'm going to go over and understand the situation with them. Again, you must be prepared to accept these former enemies as friends." Diao Si left these words and faced the blazing people alone. Enemies of the Eastern Empire.
Of course Diao Si hopes to get this army. The biggest obstacle to the development of Green Hidden City now is the lack of manpower. When many constructions are not yet complete, they mainly rely on manpower. If he could get these six to seven thousand soldiers, many of his plans could be carried out or accelerated, and even the whole plan would be different.
He must hope for the best outcome, but also prepare for the worst. The closer he gets to the menacing enemy army, the more ominous he feels because it is filled with cruelty and murderous intent. (To be continued)
